NFL Pick 'Em, Week Eight: Waitin' All Week for Sunday Night: We're nearing the halfway point in the regular season and the NFL Pick 'Em contest. The eighth week begins with the suddenly feisty Miami Dolphins going to New England on Thursday night. London draws another sub-par American export as 2-5 San Diego faces 1-6 Detroit. On Sunday night, Green Bay visits Denver for only the fourth meeting of 6-0 (or better) teams in NFL history. Make your picks and lock your lock.

Another week's worth from the inept one, otherwise known as Mr. "even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while". Note: My New England Calvinist sense of impending doom forbids me from making Patriots my lock. Fellow New Englanders, especially Red Sox fans, understand.

There must have been a typo on my part. I meant to say New England by 29, not Miami by 3 (?!?)

Sorry, I thought that meant the points would be 11 to 15 then, my bad.

I should have, like, 20 more points. You missed some shit here and there, man.

I wish I could blame it someone else, other than my bad picking/lol. (If only I hadn't twice missed my lock, ... if only/lol)

Was on a plane yesterday from 8 am so missed the Patriots game. Too bad since I of course would've taken them. Oh well.

You see me slipping down the table, right? My only hope now is to convince rcade that he got my score wrong.

I don't think I've hit a lock since week one, yet I still pick a game as one every week.
